Hi, there are some decent books that have like one or two sentences about some fascinating historical facts.

For example: Melbourne was once called Batmania. Or the US considered dyeing Mt Fuji in Japan black during WWII, as a kind of psychological tactic.

But, as mentioned, usually there is too little info provided (you may have many questions left) and often there are no references and works cited, so basically you have to trust the author about accuracy and also don't know where to look for more in. So my question is if there are books that provide decent level of details about interesting historical facts and a bibliography perhaps for those who want to learn more? The target audience is senior high school students and the goal is making them interested in history. Thank you.
